As in: a Sam Rivers 43 disc set?

Not giving up yet...

I tried countless times for the past days to download, but the downloads never go beyond 1MB in size... frustrating. No one else having any issues here? I'm clueless what might be at the root of the problem, tried in various browsers, too.

Got the Al Cohn a few days ago and it's AMAZING! :tup

The Ayler "Holy Ghost" box... on and off, as I'm doing a chronological Ayler listen these days!

Interesting character, it seems! Chadbourne's write-ups are fun... but are they generally accurate beyond their hipster stance?

Very, very sad news.

That's the drummer on Redd's third BN album - who was he anyway? Never ever heard of his name anywhere else!

Happy Birthday, David! :party:

read about it in the papers... it seems Nobs hat it ALL videotaped, but only ONE tape exists of each concert!

disc one of the Anthony Braxton

Sad news! Get well soon!

They're both locals on the scene in Zurich, Switzerland. Ziegele has been working with Schweizer among others for some time, and Schweizer goes back to the 60s when Dollar Brand (and other exiles from South Africa) were appearing in town.

Wow, great gig you got there! Would love to see you but there's no stop in Zurich, alas...

They took TCM out of our net many years ago... now I just got digital tv this week and was hoping it might be among the 200 channels I've got now... but not, alas

David, we all bought it from an outlet called Grigorian back when it came out. They still have it, shipping may be a bit steep but the price is right: http://www.grigorian.com/webstore/view.php?iid=353291 Earlier thread about it here: The red one with the earlier songbooks (lots of overlap with the Mosaic, but it also contains the Count Basie album with a drummer added and has the missing bits from the trio with Ellis in for Kessel... it seems to be OOP, but some acceptable offers can be found on german Amazon's marketplace.

I went for two instead... the first with the Kessel/Ellis & Brown Songbooks, the second with the Brown & Thigpens, the second being official and from Universal Canada and very nice! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Complete-Songbooks-Oscar-Peterson/dp/B000SFP7I2/ref=sr_1_13?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1291806077&sr=1-13 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Songbooks-Oscar-Peterson/dp/B00284G370/ref=sr_1_14?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1291806140&sr=1-14 They both should be around cheaper (or were at least considerably cheaper when I got them)

That one Cologne concert by Hutcherson & Tete is indeed amazing! Hard to single out any particular starting points with Tete - there are so many trio releases and most of them are good to very good! A highly consistent artist! EKE BBB would be best qualified to give you some hints - I'll ask him to drop by here! Oh, some collaborations might be a good starting point, too... there are albums with Lucky Thompson, Ben Webster, Dusko Goykovich... and there's also "It's About Blues Time", recorded in quintet with Dusko and Ferdinand Povel. And of course great solo releases as well...

hum, it's back in stock though much more expensive... my order is still open as it's been since I put it in... do the suckers try to sell off the remaining copies at the higher price first, before filling my order?

Buying Vol. 3 is almost as costly as getting the whole box (at least over here where I live), so I suggest you go for the whole set - trust me there's plenty to appeal to a jazz fan's ears in that music! True! Though I think with myself, I'll rather go for some African music with more contemporary stuff, rather than for African jazz. Ali Farka Touré, Toumani Diabaté... here are a pair though: Can Walk On Sand Omri Ziegele Where's Africa Triow/Irene Schweizer & Makaya Ntshoko Tommi Meier - Root Down and their second one (which I don't know yet): Tommy Meier - Root Down: The Master and The Rain Root Down is a pretty wild mix of grooves, horns, some electronics... some Fela Kuti, some Chris McGregor & BoB... it's quite great, in my humble opinion! The Where's Africa Trio release I mentioned before elsewhere. It's a solid and likeable release.

Oh, believe me, I'd buy a seven or eight disc set, too! I just have amassed lots of Rivers' music over the years... but I quite agree about the Braxton and Threadgill being an exciting new turn (still have to get the Threadgill one though). I'd be all for more similar releases!

videos are up now: more here: http://www.youtube.com/user/petra777#p/u/4/jtTS_laKbJQ Beautiful!

some of my dad's beat-up LPs I guess... on top, the one that might be my own all-time favorite album: John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (mono) then: Art Blakey - Free for All (stereo, I think, don't have it at hand to check) next maybe the Tina Brooks Mosaic set. then maybe my dad's original of Jimmy Smith's "The Cat", the original Impule of Shelly Manne's "2 - 3 - 4" that I got myself... The Randy Weston Horo and one of his Coras (Rhythm & Sounds Piano) And definitely the Canova LP of Joe Malinga, "Tears for the Children of Soweto" Also some CD box sets, just because I cherish the music... the Ellington Centennial box, the Rahsaan Mercury box, the Ayler Holy Ghost box, the Jimmy Lyons box. And of course plenty of Mosaic boxes... Hill, Jones, Jones/Lewis, Jay Jay, TKM, Giuffre... And the "Musical History" box by the Band, because it opened a whole new universe for me, musically!
